Chill Friday

Today has started out pretty chill.  Yesterday afternoon was a little busy.  One of my colleagues tried to rope me into a cluster that he was dealing with.  I provided some advice and tried to head off the chaos that would ensue but I was unsuccessful.  I am just sitting back and letting that situation play out.  If I am needed I know that someone will reach out but I am hopeful that it will get worked out without any further involvement from me. Chaos and Clusters tend to follow this particular co-worker around.  He means well but isn’t the most articulate person in the world and that leads to frustration.  He always seems to lob something my way when I am on-call and I have gotten involved before to where the situation winds up back firing on me when I was just trying to help.  Ah well it all pays the same but I’d just as soon avoid those bumps in the road. 

I was all excited to go upstairs yesterday afternoon but then remembered that I had to get the trash out.  That was such a bummer but I took care of it.  I honestly didn’t have much and could have skipped trash day but since I am paying for it, no sense in letting my money go to waste.  So to speak. 

Rudy got hungry and wanted an early supper which I provided and he enjoyed.  Then quickly forgot about. 

The cute twink we hired a few weeks ago reached out and needed some help.  I did my and helped him.  It was in moving some data around and I didn’t realize that there was so much of it.  It took me an hour and a half.  It was like watching paint dry but I kept an eye on the screen to make sure that everything went smoothly.  Meanwhile it was Rudy’s normal time for supper and he and his sister were both bugging me.  I reminded them both that I passed out supper already but they didn’t want to hear that.  I knew what would satisfy them but I wasn’t about to move until the data transfer was done and I confirmed that it was a success.  Each time the Microsoft Minute counter would get close to being done it would ramp back up and spit out a new estimate that was anywhere from several minutes to hours later.  I’d watch it and it would repeat this over and over, until finally it completed.  I wrote the cute twink back and told him that the job was done. 

I got a thank you response back but by then I had shut down my computer and passed out treats which pacified the cats as I had expected it would.  A rainy and gloomy evening.  I kind of got tired of TV and went back to writing for an hour.  It is really nice to be able to not hear a sound and just escape into a fantasy world if only for an hour.  Something about that is relaxing, refreshing and really gets my hormones moving. 

Once my writing time ended, I got ready for today and had a shower.  Then playtime with the cats and finally time to relax and drift off to sleep. 

I didn’t sleep the best and it’s kind of been that way all week.  I think it’s because of the heavy comforter I have.  I get hot and then I wake up, usually to find that I am sharing my bed with the two cats and I am in some contorted position that is not comfortable.  I am going to put that comforter away this weekend and see if it helps me stay asleep.  It won’t keep the cats out of bed with me.  Rudy honestly is no problem because he’s small, it’s Mora because she is thicker she loves to stretch out and take up as much room as possible.  I mean I call her Mora because she always needs more of this and more of that.  Here is hoping that I am successful and that I can go back to getting a decent nights sleep and who knows maybe some better dreams. 

I am very much looking forward to my massage tonight.  That will be the best way to cap off the day, especially if things stay chill.  I’ve plowed through my morning tasks that were on my calendar.  Now just have to wait for a meeting a bit later on this morning.  Then after lunch my calendar is wide open.  I am hoping there won’t be any surprises today or stress but I see that cluster I was speaking of from yesterday starting to reignite.  I am guessing that I will be roped into that again. 

I hope it’s a great day for you and that you have an awesome weekend.  I will certainly try my best to do the same for the weekend.  Thank you for stopping by.  Take care.

Raw-Dogging It

Morning … Hope that everyone is doing well on this Friday eve.  Yesterday evening I reflected back on what an awesome time I had last Wednesday.  From watching the movie to asking the cute guy out who turned out to be straight.  That was the most thrilled/excited/happy I have been in a while.  Shame I can’t bottle that feeling up so I could have a little bit of it every day.  You’d think that hearing the word no would have gotten me down but nope I was just thrilled that I took a shot and even though I didn’t get the results I was expecting I was quite proud of my accomplishment.  It takes some nerve/guts to ask a complete stranger out.  Normally I’d have butterflies in my stomach but not this time.  I was a tiny bit nervous but more interested in the outcome than anything. 

Anyway here we are a week and a day later and I am back to the old grind.  I got a new Windows 11 machine at work.  I finally had time to configure it and get it the way I wanted it yesterday.  I started using it this morning.  I still miss my Windows 10 machine but this is the way things are going so it’s just a matter of getting used to something different, despite not liking it.  I don’t know why but my machine came to me without any protection.  So I was raw-dogging it until this morning when I gave in and put on Anti-Virus protection.  I thought about just keeping it raw but with the amount of crap that I see everyday it would only be a matter of time before something malicious occurred and then I’d have to get another new machine and go through the configuration steps all over again.  I’m not the normal user as we don’t let just anyone configure their machine.  It’s one of the minor perks and professional courtesy's that I get.  Now I the only thing I have left to worry about it getting my laptop swapped out in the office.  Yes, I have two machines 1 virtual so that I can work from home and 1 laptop.  I should carry the laptop home and make it my primary machine as that is what the rest of my team does but I hate lugging a piece of equipment back and forth, plus the laptop is a small form factor and it’s nice if your moving around the office but to sit at a desk or anywhere and plug away for hours on end from a tiny screen, no thanks.  I’ve got a docking station in my office so that the experience is more like a desktop than a laptop with 2 monitors, it’s kind of nice.  I was supposed to get new monitors over a year ago but that never happened and I could honestly care less.  Especially considering that I spend the bulk of my time at home. 

The rain moved in last night and it poured all night long.  I watched as my neighbors gutter overflowed as I looked at mine, all clean and wide open flowing normally.  I know mine won’t stay that way forever but it’s nice to see while it lasts.  I got the chicken wire guards on but stuff manages to sneak past them.  No matter what kind of gutter guards you have there is some maintenance required, at least that is my understanding.  Guess that is why my mind is always in the gutter.  Yeah I know poor attempt at humor but I liked it!

Finished off the pizza from Sunday yesterday for supper.  Tonight I will be forced to open the freezer and fetch something frozen.  I’ve been eating pretty good for a while but just like going back to work, all good things must come to an end.  At least the weekend is in sight so I can dine out and get some better food (not necessarily healthier or better for me) than frozen.

I wracked my brain yesterday looking over my Google Chrome settings as to why it doesn’t permit me to login to the Adult Content Blogs and if it will permit me to login it won’t permit me to comment.  I really wanted to hit the reset to default button but I’ve got so many adjustments in Chrome that it would take longer to reconfigure.  My work around appears to be to use Duck Duck Go’s Browser, so far nothing but good luck with that.  I hate the Google makes you push so many buttons now to get into an Adult content blog, I understand the need for safety but it’s way more complicated than it needs to be.  However, that old saying you get what you pay for applies – it’s free so I suppose I shouldn’t complain.  But I just did :). 

Thursday’s are usually calmer days so I am hoping that is true today.  Thus far it is but it’s still very early in the day.  I hope that all is well in your world and that life is treating you well.  Not sure about you but I am very much looking forward to the weekend.  Take care!

Man Candy - Happy Pride!

Caught up

After two days of working steady like my life depended on it, I am finally caught up or so I think.  I am relaxing and trying to take it easy at the moment. 

My massage therapist reached out yesterday afternoon and offered me a 90 minute opening yesterday but I was just too busy to break away.  I’ve got a knot in my left shoulder blade that is really bothering me.  I really wanted to go see her but alas I have an appointment on Friday.  Last night was calm but being on-call you never know exactly when or if something will get kicked up.  I just stay available as much as I can especially during the week.  The weekends are different I throw caution to the wind probably a little more than I should but rarely does something come up on a weekend.  That said I had the opportunity to do something I’ve wanted to do for a while this weekend and while I wanted to give in I thought of Murphy’s Law and opted to decline and push it to another weekend. 

I worked out my most of my PC issues.  Although I still have some issues with visiting blogs that have the adult flag on.  Google Chrome tells me that I have a cookie issue.  I just wind up trying a couple different browsers until I am eventually successful.  I will tackle that problem when I have a bit more time on my hands.

I was able to have a decent evening.  I watched a little TV, had supper and lounged on the couch with the cats until they opted to take their evening naps.  Mora really lets loose when she knows I am close by and she starts snoring.  I think they both feel like I am on guard so they can get some sound sleep for a bit, since they will be guarding me all night long.  Although I am not fully convinced they don’t seriously drift off once I am sound asleep. 

At any rate it gave me the ability to really pour some time into continuing on with a fantasy story I am writing.  I was enjoying myself and before I knew it an hour had passed by.  It’s nice to be able to take an escape from reality even if it’s only for an hour. 

Had a nice hot shower, took some extra sleeping medicine, brushed & flossed then had some play time with the cats.  Once they were no longer interested in playing I went to play with myself.  By then the sleeping medicine was kicking in and I was seriously drowsy.  I felt my self drifting off and wanted to get up to get in bed but didn’t make it in time.  I woke up a short time later and then took the opportunity to climb in bed and turned the TV off.  It was lights out and I was in dreamland.  Slept pretty good. 

It’s a humid rainy day here and that’s the story for the weather for the next few days.  I went up to use the bathroom and both cats were relaxing.  It’s a perfect day for a nap or to call in sick, which I gave serious thought to.  I really want more time away it like everything else in life I get a good taste and I can’t seem to get enough. 

Thankfully the weekend is closer than it was on Monday.  I’ve got my massage Friday night and then on Saturday I am getting my hair cut again.  I wear it short in the summer and I just had it cut in the last two weeks and I am going to go even shorter to buy some additional time between cuts.  The only problem with that is that it itches when it grows back. 

Hoping that the rest of the day is relaxing.  Got my usual Wednesday meeting with my team which is nothing but babble, it’s a way to let the boss know what your working on but truth be told we could easily skip these nonsense meetings.  He (the boss) likes to hear his own voice and tends to talk most of the meeting and then hurry everyone else along.  Once that is done I will be happier. 

Man candy will post in a couple hours so check back if that is of interest.  Back to the daily grind isn’t so much fun but it does pay the bills.  I hope all is well in your world and that life is smiling on you.  Take care. 

Real Quick

Morning … Monday was a very high stress day.  Between my home pc wigging out on me several times, playing catchup and trying to respond to other email that was coming in and my boss calling and wanting to chat I was ready to go back on vacation.  Thankfully the break I needed came at lunch time when I went to the dentist.  I got a good report, as per usual.  I don’t go back until mid January.  Wow it will probably snow that day. 

I was left with an absolute mess to clean up and I am still digging my way out plus trying to deal with being on-call.  My mistake making co-worker is back as of today.  I am very hesitant to throw him back in the rotation of the couple of tasks that we share because of his ability to make mistakes and just not care. 

Got a lousy nights sleep, which I kind of expected.  Work on the brain and all of the crap that I have to do, it gets to me more than I should let it.  However, I am very passionate about my job.  That’s pretty much any job I have ever had, it’s the way I was raised.  However, the worry part is just me being me.

The cats have been neglected a bit but we are all still getting along and they got their playtime last night. 

Best news of all I believe that all of my issues are worked out with AT&T and I got a nice bill credit for the continued inconvenience.  One minor issue is still being monitored but the resolution is in place, just need to wait a couple more weeks to make sure that it took properly.  I am so glad that I am done with all of the calls, time spent on hold and being passed around like a hot potato. 

I’ve made some progress this morning and plan to keep chipping away at things, hopefully things will come together and I will be caught up today or at the worst case tomorrow. 

Back to it.  Hope all is well in your world.  Take care and thanks for stopping by!

Last Leisure Day

Hi and welcome in.  I hope that all is well in your world.  This is my last day off before it's time to head back to work and resume a hectic and chaotic life.  If you sense some apprehension your spot on.  I do not look forward to it at all.  However, as the saying goes you have to go back sometime.  Another one comes to mind, all good things must come to an end.  

I woke up early and tried to sleep in but I thought of Rudy and how hungry he probably was.  I rolled over and he wanted to snuggle with me for a minute.  Then he climbed on my chest and started making biscuits and stared at me with the smile on his face.  It never gets old waking up and seeing him in such a good mood.  It's the happiest I am pretty much all day every day. 

I made the trip to the bathroom and then to the kitchen to get food for the cats.  I grabbed a glass and headed to the bathroom to take my morning pills and try to do something with my hair.  Threw on a shirt, pants, socks and an old pair of slip on shoes.  I wasn't in the mood to tie shoes this morning and wearing the old shoes I knew my feet would hurt but I was lazy.  

Off to breakfast.  My usual waitress wasn't working.  She is always bright and cheery plus she is loud it kind of helps jump start me a little bit.  I got the scowling waitress, ordered the usual Strawberry French Toast, Sausage Links, 3 eggs scrambled and I added cheese to them.  Washed it all down with a diet cola.  It was pretty good.  

After I paid my bill I headed off to the post office to pick up mail, just one letter and then to the grocery store.  I purchased something new Churro Chips.  They are tortilla chips seasons with Cinnamon and Sugar.  I've always wanted to try them and today was the day.  $5 for a bag which I didn't know but I also didn't care.  Pair those with some ice cream and you got a nice treat that is hard to beat.  Anyway, finished up grocery shopping and then hit up the gas station.  I was $2 off from my prediction that I would spend somewhere between $35 and $45 in filling up.  The estimate in the car for number of miles I could drive hit 400.  That's when I know the vehicle is quite happy and in peak performance.  It loves to be driven but I don't always want to go for a ride.  Sadly with me working from home the car doesn't get driven enough but having time to burn and the trips I took this week helped to get things back on track.  

I came home and put the groceries away and then stripped down to my underwear and socks.  Time to relax.  I sat in my recliner and watched TV, it didn't take long before I got sleepy.  Mora was in my lap and I had to wake her up.  She didn't want to get up but I did.  Once up I went to bed and curled up next to Rudy.  It wasn't long before Mora joined us and she tried to gently talk her brother into moving but since he wouldn't she just plopped down.  We all snuggled up and off to dream land for about an hour.  

Woke up and grabbed lunch for the cats.  That's when I tried the new chips and found out how good they actually are.  Then put out my medicine for the week ahead.  It was off to the basement to try to tidy up a little bit.  I didn't get my paperwork filed away but I got my desk cleared and ready to go back to work mode.  The computer was humming right along and all was well.  

I surfed around a bit looking for porn as well as checking on a couple of other items and looking at email.  I went through a bunch of photos that I had and found a few that I wanted to print out and hang up.  I unpacked the photo paper I got last week.  It didn't feel anything like I expected it would.  However, it preformed wonderfully and I am glad that I spent the money.  Next time I will get glossy paper.  That paper soaks up the ink unlike traditional copy/printer paper and really makes photos pop.  Now I've got some nice naked men to look at when I am in front of the computer.  

Finally was able to push myself away from the computer and head back upstairs.  The cats were all comfy in the basement.  Rudy was on the couch on a pillow.  Mora was resting on an old office chair of mine that has a cat pad on it.  Something about the pad attracts cats, they are drawn to it.  This was where Ruth (one of Momma's girls) would sit and keep watch.  Then hiss at me when I would pass by.  She wasn't a people person unless it was on her terms.  Anyway, I told them I was heading up and they could join me, which in short order they did.  

I sat on the couch and started resuming writing my fictional story.  The Amazon delivery driver came and I had to get up to get my package.  I don't like to let anything sit outside longer than it needs to, it's just temptation although we haven't had any porch pirates in our area that I know of.  This was the cell phone case that I ordered.  It wasn't a two piece snap on case but rather a one piece case that you pop your phone into.  I couldn't get a mag safe accessory to charge the phone so I figured the case was defective and arranged to return it.  

I got dressed and headed out for pizza.  I went to the place that is known to have cute guys.  I saw one for a split second but it was all females working today and well that didn't do a thing for me sexually speaking.  I was all excited to get to see some eye candy.  I did get a decent pizza.  However, I was surprised at the charge, I think prices went up because I don't remember spending $32 for a large pizza and a soda, that was before the tip.  I got a box for what I didn't eat which was a decent amount.  I've managed to shrink my stomach by only eating 2 meals per day.  I'm sure I probably dropped a pound or two along the way but it will catch back up to me eventually.  

Headed home and had an idea about the new cell phone case so I gave it another try and wow I got the mag safe accessory to work and my phone started taking a charge.  I cancelled the return.  Played just a brief moment on the computer to update finances, balance a bank account and quickly look for porn.  I found one scene that I have been waiting for as part 2 of a series.  Downloaded that and then headed back upstairs.  I didn't want to spend too much time down there because I will be trapped there tomorrow and for the rest of the week as work resumes.  I'll be on-call as well.  That on top of playing catchup will make for a difficult few days but I've done it before and I know that I can do it again.  I just don't want to.  

Looking forward to getting my teeth cleaned at lunch time tomorrow.  I plan to get a shower and shave tonight so that it's one less thing I have to worry about tomorrow.  

A few days ago I followed ThioJoe's video about settings for the Chrome Browser.  I'm running into all kinds of issues.  I am having problems remoting in to my computer from upstairs, just discovered that when I went to make this post.  I also have problems commenting on a couple blogs.  My work around is that I have a few browsers on my machine and eventually I find one that works.  I am giving serious consideration to undoing some of those changes so I can get my machine back to working like I want it to.  

I've got about an hour before I have to start preparing for tomorrow and getting that shower & shave.  Hoping that I am able to get a decent nights sleep.  Right now I am going back to continuing to write since both cats are passed out.  When Rudy wakes up he will try to play with my pen.  He doesn't like me writing for some reason it bothers him but I can watch TV for hours and he's fine with that.  

All in all not a bad day.  I don't expect to have time to be able to blog tomorrow or for that matter a couple days, so if I am absent just know that I am playing catchup at work.  I'm already counting the days 3 more months until I go back on vacation, unless I decide otherwise.  I like to take time off around the holidays, things are much slower and there is a lot less stress when I come back, unlike Summer time when things are all hustle and bustle.  

Wishing you all a great week ahead and hoping that I too will have a good week.  It's June so Happy Pride!  Take care and I will talk with you all again soon.  

Productive Day

I’m a little bored but have done a decent job of finding things to do productive or not. 

Since this was the last day I could wake up and return to bed I used that luxury privilege and enjoy it to it’s maximum.  Rudy had me up at 6a on a Saturday.  I slept in a couple more hours but honestly don’t remember if I was up at 9 or 10. 

I had a Belvita Soft Baked Oatmeal something or another.  I used that to help supply energy because I knew sugar would just make me crash and return to bed.  I of course followed up with some sugar by consuming a few cookies.  Had lots of milk to wash all of that down. 

Threw on my clothes and went out and checked and adjusted the tire pressure on my vehicle.  Then broke out the pressure spray bottle and filled it up with poison and water, shook it up to mix well.  Then sprayed the perimeter of the house.  That went really well but as per usual things are growing out of control and front side of my house looks like a small forest.  This is the first year in a while that I didn’t call someone to work on trees/bushes.  Looks like I won’t be able to skip another year. 

It was comfy outside but the humidity was rising and I am glad that I got that job done.  I saw ants last night crawling around the cat food and Rudy looked at the dish funny.  It was stale food that I was throwing away.  I knocked them out quickly.  I know from years past it doesn’t take much for an ant problem to get way out of control.  I can usually go every other months with spraying but since I started late this year I plan to do it again next month.  I’ve got another bottle of poison and more will be coming.  I hate bugs but not Bugs Bunny. 

Threw the rubber bathtub mat (so I don’t slip and fall when I’m in the shower) in the wash and cleaned the bathtub.  I had to keep the door to the bathroom closed so Rudy wouldn’t go in and lick the tub, thinking it was just water.  He wasn’t happy about that. 

I then decided to resume writing my latest sexual fictional story.  I was just getting back into it and then along came Rudy and he curled up on my writing pad.  Well that task was done.  I wasn’t kicking him out of my lap, he was drowsy and woke up from a nap and decided to change to my lap as his next comfy destination. 

I turned on the TV and watched a little YouTube.  Eventually I had to get up and I kicked him out of my lap despite not wanting to.  He just curled back up where I was sitting.  I told him he was a spot stealer and he could careless he just wanted to dose back off. 

I came back downstairs to play on the computer and to see if one of my external hard drives was still mapped.  I have lost connection with it twice.  The disk it’s self checks out as clean but that doesn’t mean anything.  All hard drives die eventually.  It would be a crappy time for that to happen but then again I don’t know of a good time.  Thankfully all was still working fine. 

I went back upstairs and Rudy was at the back door looking out into the backyard.  I told him I’d take him out there if he wanted.  He seemed to understand me and meowed.  I said okay but you have to stay in my arms.  This was our second time out and he liked the sunshine but was more interested in the larger big world that was waiting for him.  He wanted out of my arms in the worst way, I would have loved to put him on the ground provided he was in a harness and on a leash but he wasn’t.  I know for sure without a doubt that if I would set him on the ground his inner explorer would kick in and he would be gone in a flash.  We headed back inside quickly and then I was able to put him back on the ground.  He wasn’t happy about it but the AC kicked on and he rushed to feel the cool air from the vent. 

Eventually I started to get hungry and drowsy again.  I had a cookie and a soda which gave me a temporary burst.  A short time after that I left for supper.  I thought about where to go and decided that Mexican food sounded really good so I went to the usual Mexican place.  Got full and left.  Headed back home to be with the cats and of course play on the PC. 

As luck would have it I found an article on-line that a few performers were giving away 7 day free trials of their OF sites.  One of them I had on my list to subscribe to, so glad that I didn’t pay for his content because he is another tease.  If you want full length content it’s all PPV.  I’ve only paid for one scene ever and that’s because it was something I really wanted to see.  Nice thing about that is I own it forever.  I am not getting in that habit.  Anyway I subscribed to the last performer on my list and he didn’t have nearly as much content as I expected but there is some good stuff there. 

I renewed my license plates online.  I was about 4 weeks early but it’s money I am going to have to spend, so why not just get it out of the way.  This way once all of the charges post I can pay it off and be done.  That’s part of the damage from this staycation. 

I looked at my vacation time balance and I’ve got a little over two weeks still in the bank.  More time will accrue.  I get 26 days plus I carried over 2 weeks so that is about a month and a week of time off by my calculations.  This time is used for sick, vacation, etc.  It’s all one bank of time that you dip into as needed through out the year.  At the end of the year you can only carry over 80 hours or 2 weeks of time, if you have excess of that you forfeit it.  Nothing like end of the year approaching and having to burn time so you don’t loose it.

I started to clean up and put things away down here.  Haven’t got around to printing photos and there are two items left on my list of things that I wanted to do.  Nothing major.  I knocked out all of the important stuff.  However, I still wish I had a little bit more time.  Monday is on it’s way regardless if I like it or not.  I need to really enjoy tomorrow because it’s the last relaxing day I will have until next weekend, I am positive about that.

It’s later than I want it to be but still early enough that I can have some relaxing time before I head to bed.  I needed to push myself away from the computer and get ready for bed.  Looking forward to Strawberry French Toast in the morning. 

Hope it was a great day for you.  Talk with you all again soon.  Be well.

 

 

Another hot guy

Woke up super early and fed the cats, came back to bed since I still have that luxury.  I am gonna miss that come next week.  Woke up a couple hours later and got moving. 

House cleaning was my #1 priority and I knocked it out.  I put off taking the trash out until later in the afternoon. 

I was waiting all day for a call from AT&T but it never came.  I believe I am down to 1 issue and once they fix that I should be good.  Just waiting to hear back and that probably won’t happen until next week. 

While I was waiting I dove back into OF and found a Male photographer that caters to porn stars.  Damn he’s really good and he’s worked with a lot of good looking guys.  He’s got plenty of photos and video on his site.  Oddly he came up in my feed because he was having a sale.  I went to get my monies worth. 

Things were moving along nicely and then all of a sudden my monitors shutdown it was as if my machine went to sleep or was in hibernation.  I have both of those features disabled as I want my machine up 24/7 unless I choose to power it off. I had to force power off and then power back up. 

Once I got everything back up I knew I had lost my place on his page so I would have to start over and I had already been on it for a couple hours.  Yeah when I said he’s got a lot of content I am not kidding. 

I went upstairs and got a shower and dressed.  I wanted a good meal and knew I was going to shell out some serious money but this was the last hoorah so might as well go out with a bang. 

I got on the road and made it there just in time for the doors to open.  I was the first customer.  I was hoping for some Italian food to be on the list of special items but nope I settled for my usual Chilean Sea Bass.  It was good but as if someone dumped in a salt shaker with the meal.  Had some Snickers cheesecake for desert and I was quite full when I left. 

There was this hottie working with the normal bar tender.  I found out that he will be working tomorrow night all by himself.  Blond hair, Blue Eyes, a little muscle and of course a nice butt.  My mouth was watering all through dinner and I took every opportunity to stare at him.  I worked up a little bit of a conversation.  I had an opening to ask him out but I chose to forego it.  Just like the last guy I had no idea if he was gay.  However, it came up that he was only going to be there for the next month and then he was leaving.  If he is leaving the area no sense in starting something that would only be temporary.  He might have got a better job up the street but I didn’t inquire and just assumed that he was leaving the area.  I kind of want to go back and ask but considering that for my meal with tip I spent $66 that would be quite the expensive venture for another nights supper.  It’s not that I can’t afford it, it’s that I don’t want to spend it. 

I’m cautiously optimistic that the air is right and that a guy will come along.  He may or may not be the right guy but I am willing to give a chance to someone that I am attracted to if they are willing to give me the same chance.  Fingers crossed that positive change is in the air!

I have not looked at work email but the desire is there.  It’s going to be there on Monday and I have all weekend if I want to peek.  I just don’t look forward at all to Monday.  I’ve also got a Dentist appointment so that will be how I spend my lunch.  I probably won’t hurry back home. 

We are in for some nice weather.  Today was sunny and in the upper 70’s.  I pushed the trash out about an hour ago and it was actually pretty comfortable.  Tomorrow and Sunday are supposed to be in the upper 80’s and all sunshine.  Here comes the heat.  Perhaps I can get out and spray the perimeter of the house for bugs.  I really don’t want the cats to eat any bug even though I know that they can. 

Rudy just jumped up in my lap and he is ready to nod off.  He loves sleeping in my arms but that does make it a little difficult to use the computer.  This will be his second nap in my arms today.  Mora has got in her snuggles, belly rubs and petting.  So neither of them is starving for attention. 

Well time to get back to it.  Hope that you had a great Friday and that your weekend is awesome.  Talk with you all again soon. 

Spending Money

Staycation or Vacation either way I manage to spend money, more of it than I originally planned.  However, something about just throwing caution to the wind is refreshing.  I’m not spending money I don’t have, that would be a whole different story. 

I am working with a point of contact at AT&T.  There was great progress made today.  I am hopeful that come tomorrow being the end of my vacation will also be the end of having to deal with AT&T and issues.  I can just fade into the background and go on with my life, wow that sounds refreshing.  I’m still a little mad at myself for acting in anger that’s what triggered all of this.  However, if it wasn’t for the issues I wouldn’t have such a large credit on my account.  I plan to ask for more once all of the issues are behind me and resolved.  The worst they can say is no.

It was time to get dressed and head out for lunch.  I did that and Mora went to the bathroom and stayed there.  I don’t like it when a cat does that I have had two cats do that and they both died within a short time.  I was worried but brushed it off.  Sure enough when I got home she left me a present to clean up.  She’s back to her normal self.  Phew that’s the last thing I need right now. 

Had lunch with my friend and saw the flowers that I sent him.  They were sure pretty and I know he enjoyed them despite the razzing he got.  While I was there I asked about getting some new wipers.  The ones I have had came with the vehicle and it was time to part ways with them after 8 years.  I wanted to put OEM wipers on but that’s wasn’t a same day option so I went with some aftermarket wipers. 3 wipers (2 for the front and 1 for the back) cost me $80.  I sure hope that they do a good job and last for a hell of a long time.  It was sprinkling on the way back home and I got to try them out and they seem to work pretty good. 

Been home ever since I got back from lunch.  Had a nap late in the afternoon.  Got up and had a light supper and fed the cats.  I was supposed to be cleaning today but I lacked the motivation for that.  I used my old saying, I’ll do it tomorrow.  I’ve said that for a couple days.  Tomorrow is trash day so that will help to motivate me a bit. 

I got on Amazon and ordered a new cell phone case and a couple of other items that I probably shouldn’t have spent my money on.  I really wanted to go to Best Buy instead but I think if I walk in there I might spend more money so Amazon might be cheaper and a better option in the long run. 

Peeked in on my work email it’s piling up but it’s all going to be there waiting for me.  I just don’t like surprises so I peek to get an idea of what I will be going back to.  I can already tell you that next week is going to be pure hell but at least I won’t be bored.  I am not looking forward to it. 

I’ve got one work day of this vacation left.  Outside of cleaning I plan to enjoy a nice dinner out.  I kind of want to go for a drive and hit up the place with the lunch buffet.  Chinese Food sounds good also.  Then there is the super expensive place in the country that I know I will enjoy the food for sure but I won’t like the bill.  Between tomorrow and Saturday I can hit up two of the three places but making a decision is always difficult because I am paralyzed by choice.  I wanted to grab some Italian food at an upscale place that I like as well but that kind of fell by the way side.  I’ve always wanted to eat at The Cheesecake Factory but it would take me forever to make up my mind since they have such a large menu.  I’ll make it there someday, it’s on my bucket list. 

I’ve been on OF (Only Fans) tonight, subscribed to another person and still have a few more that I’d like to see.  That too gets expensive but I get such a rush from seeing new content.  Kind of like seeing a hot guy in public.  Saw a bunch of them today so I am quite horny. 

The best day by far of this whole staycation was yesterday.  I enjoyed the movie, the thrill of asking a hot guy out and getting some good food as well as the drive.  Shame I couldn’t have pressed a pause button because I felt so good but that feeling was fleeting.  Perhaps I will experience some additional joy come tomorrow when I go to fetch my meal. 

Hope you had a great day and thanks for stopping by.  Take care!

Man Candy - Who's Horny?

Best Day in a long time

Today was the best day in a long time and the first day in a long time that I haven’t been home for the better part of the day.  It was quite refreshing. 

Not wanting to wait until later in the afternoon to see Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning, I opted to drive to a theater that was further away from my home.  It just happened to be next to the place that I had Nacho’s at yesterday. 

This theater had power leather recliners that you could adjust.  I sat in the row the furthest from the screen and I was up kind of high.  I was the first one in the theater and wow is all I can say.  It was comfy to the point where I got a bit drowsy.  The only thing that could have made the seat better was if it was a massaging recliner. 

Once the movie ended I had a game plan.  I went back to the same place to eat.  I was hoping I’d run into the cute waiter again.  I figured if I did it was fate and I would take a chance.  As soon as I walked in I saw him and I was quite happy.  He wasn’t my waiter but after I placed my order I walked up to him and we struck up a conversation.  He is super friendly and outgoing.  I asked him out and he told me that he had a fiancé.  I told him that he was super cute.  Our conversation ended on a friendly note and I returned to my table waiting for lupper to arrive. 

Next stop of all places was a funeral home.  A friend of mine’s father passed away weeks ago and she got the cutest eagle statue with an American Flag.  I called the funeral home while I was waiting on my food to arrive to see if I could purchase one of the statues.  I am a huge bald eagle fan.  In talking I expected to spend around $50.  When I arrived I was pleasantly surprised they gave me what I wanted for free.  I tried to pay them something but they wouldn’t take a dime.  I thanked them and I was tickled pink.  Thinking maybe just maybe things were turning around. 

Next stop was the dreaded AT&T store.  I figured that speaking to someone in person I could get the last two issues ironed out.  I spent 2 hours in the store and got no further than if I was at home on the phone.  In fact we called tech support and they told me to contact Apple to resolve my problems.  This is very much an AT&T issue and has nothing to do with Apple.  So the beat goes on.  I left disgusted robbed of two more hours of my life that I will never get back and no closer to a resolution than when I went in.  I did see a couple of cute guys while I was there so it wasn’t a complete waste. 

Next stop was the post office to fetch mail for the day and to mail a letter.  Then finally home.  I felt bad for the cats since I left around 10a and wasn’t home until 5:30p.  We were both happy to see each other.  I got some food going for them and here I am back at the keyboard. 

I called AT&T again talked with someone who told me that Tech Support should be able to remedy my issues and if they pass me off to another team insist that they stay on the phone so that the teams can sort things out and that might remedy my issues.  I’m waiting for a call back but honestly I don’t have high hopes.  They are either going to get my issue fixed or I am leaving.  I can’t continue to spend my days with AT&T.  I feel trapped and very helpless.  All I want is service working like it’s designed to with no band-aids. 

Looking forward to lunch tomorrow with my friend.  Here’s hoping I push myself away from the keyboard sooner rather than later tonight so I can relax with some TV and the cats.  I trimmed their claws last night and neither of them were happy about it.  Now I need to brush them both. 

Two work days left plus the weekend and then it’s back to the old bump and grind.  I’m quite proud of myself for asking the guy out, it was bold and felt good despite getting a no.  I kind of figured I would get a no and it’s okay.  I am sure I won’t be the only guy to hit on him he’s that cute.  Life is about taking risks – nothing ventured nothing gained!

I hope all is well.  Take care.

Ticked Off Tuesday

Geez I never thought my day would be such a huge waste of time but in essence that is the way it went. 

Woke up early, had breakfast and waited for the gutter guy.  Last year I had a young stud that I wanted in the worst way.  This year I got an older guy that did kind of a crappy job.  Last year I got before and after photos, the gutters were flushed out with water and the whole job took 45 minutes to an hour.  This year the older guy used a ladder to make his way around my house.  There were no before/after photos.  He left a little bit of a mess that I was forced to clean up.  He also charged me the maximum that he could and he took away 1 full bag.  Last year the guy took away 4 bags of the same size and charged way less.  So this year cleaner but cost more and quality went down.  Last year better over all job, way dirtier and cost less.  Mora didn’t growl at the new guy but both cats were quite interested in the fact that we had a stranger outside and they followed him around the house from the inside as best they could to see what he was up to.  My protectors!  

Sat through the webinar on my new health benefit, I learned a little bit but nothing that wasn’t already sent to me in print that I just haven’t fully taken time to read. 

I stewed about this all day long and finally tonight it came out and I wrote a letter to the company, which I will be mailing tomorrow.  Perhaps I will get some of my money back but I am not holding my breath.  I honestly don’t expect them to do anything for me. 

I decided to play with AT&T again and well that wound up in another mess.  Turns out somehow they didn’t have my SSN (Social Security Number) on file with my account.  Not exactly sure how that happened but that was part of the reason why I encountered further issues.  I had to go to a store to get that fixed.  I went to the one by my house and the cute hot guy that I saw a couple weeks ago, well he wasn’t working.  I got the issue resolved and was able to come home and knock out 1 of the 2 issues I had, or so I thought.  Now I’ve got a new issue so I am still dealing with 2 things with them.  If you call in it’s just a merry go around where you are put on hold constantly, they come back on the line to tell you they are still working and then you go back to hold.  Then they come back on the line and tell you they are going to transfer you.  You get to start all over in the hopes that you will be frustrated and just give up, but not me I keep on riding.  I want my issues fixed, even if in the end I still plan on leaving them might as well make them work.  I spent the afternoon and a good portion of this evening with them on the phone.  In fact I am still waiting on a call back as I type this. 

I got nothing done other than going out for Nachos again.  This time I called the place before I made the trip.  Turns out they were closed two days for the Memorial Day Holiday, which makes sense.  My waiter was a hot blond stud who was quite chipper.  He had a great body and I really wanted to ask him out.  However, I often misread kindness and professionalism as the guy is interested in me.  I mean yeah I was already at a no so I could have asked and that might have changed things but I just admired him from a far while I ate the most delicious nachos that I have had in a very long time.  I kind of wished that I was eating him too but hey I can have a fantasy and enjoy a meal.  I’ve done it before and I will do it again.  That’s kind of the perks when I get around a hot stud. 

Stopped at the post office to get the mail and then came home.  My neighbor got a new roof today.  She had 3 guys working on her roof and none of them were cute, but one did take his shirt off.  Proof that summer is on the way and so are the shirtless dudes!

I squeezed in a quick nap as well but that pretty well sums up today. 

As for tomorrow I plan to go see the New Mission Impossible Movie.  I really want to see it in IMAX but I’d also like to see it from the comfort of a reclining chair.  Sadly I can’t find a theater around here that offers both, it’s one or the other.  Recliner means you see it in standard definition.  Looks like I will be sitting in a regular chair watching it in IMAX.  I hope it’s good and worth the money I will be spending. 

I sent flowers to a straight and very married friend of mine that I have no sexual feelings for.  He just means the world to me and I wanted to surprise him.  I am the last person that he would expect to get flowers from and I am sure that it will cause quite the commotion and probably start rumors.  I’ve wanted to do this for a while and damn just like everything else it was super expensive.  Flowers start out cheap but tack on delivery and wow I could have picked them up and delivered them myself way cheaper.  However, it would loose some of the element of surprise. 

Here’s hoping that tomorrow is a better and more fun day for me!  I hope all is well in your world.  Thank you as always for stopping by. 

It’s a mistake

Before I left the house to venture out for supper I took my medicine.  Nothing wrong with that until I realized that instead of taking Monday evenings pills I actually took Tuesday mornings pills.  That’s a double dose of blood pressure medicine, diabetes meds and the list goes on.  I realized that I did this after I swallowed the pills. 

I’ve come close to doing this before but have always caught myself.  Today was the first time this happened.  I am a little concerned about it. 

I went out for BBQ and as I waited for my food I felt kind of ill.  I figured that my blood pressure was going to bottom out and I would pass out.  However, that didn’t happen my food came and I ate.  I felt full really fast which is abnormal.  However, I continued to stuff it down as it was good food.  I just ate a bit slower and took what seemed like forever to finish the meal.  Paid the bill and came home. 

I had planned a trip to Best Buy but figured that if there were going to be side effects from my mistake that I would much rather be at home than out in public.  It’s a little after 8p and thus far nothing has happened.  I did think about calling my doctor, going to an emergency room or stopping by the fire station and talking with a paramedic.  However, I did none of those.  Unless something happens I am just going to ride this out and hope for the best. 

Tomorrow morning I will take my afternoon pills for Monday and hope that my blood pressure and blood sugar remain in control.  Wednesday I will go back to a normal schedule if I don’t manage to mess it up again. 

Filled the Water Softener with salt and managed to get the bag stuck in the tank.  That too has never happened before.  Had to get a box cutter and slice the bag open to get all of the salt out and then I was able to remove the bag.  I added a second bag and it’s decently full now and should last me for several months.  Nothing like softened water, once you experience it you won’t want to go back to hard water ever.  Your skin and your clothes feel better and water to me seems to taste better but perhaps that is just psychological.

Got the laundry upstairs and put away.  Joined another OF site.  I’ve got 3 left and I’m not sure if I am going to binge on them or save them.  One thing for sure about porn is that I always want more and there is always a new hotter guy that enters and I become obsessed with their work.  Kind of sad that this is my sex life.  I do hope that I get to experience the real thing again before I die.  Time is not on my side when it comes to my age as we all have an expiration date.  However, sex is not the end all be all but it is highly important to me. 

I peeked at the weather and rain is no longer in the forecast for tomorrow, so the guy doing the gutter cleaning should be able to get the job done.  I hope he’s good looking but more importantly I hope that he does a good job and doesn’t wind up taking all my money.  The guy that did this last year was a cute muscle twink.  I wanted him so bad but just didn’t have the nerve to ask him out.  Especially since Mora was growling after he got out of the truck and was walking up to the house.  She doesn’t normally do that but then again I don’t get visitors often.  Still I place a lot of faith in my animals judgement and kind of took it as a warning sign.  However, the heart wants what the heart wants. 

I need to get up early tomorrow so I am ready when the gutter man gets here.  Plus I have a webinar to attend regarding a new health benefit.  After that the day is all mine and I can do whatever I want.  Here’s hoping I make some good choices and get to have some fun. 

Have a good night everyone and thanks for stopping by.
